Add missing IRQs and IRQ descriptions to /proc/interrupts.
/proc/interrupts is most useful when it displays every IRQ vector in use by
the system, not just those somebody thought would be interesting.
This patch inserts the following vector displays to the i386 and x86_64
platforms, as appropriate:
rescheduling interrupts
TLB flush interrupts
function call interrupts
thermal event interrupts
threshold interrupts
spurious interrupts
A threshold interrupt occurs when ECC memory correction is occuring at too
high a frequency. Thresholds are used by the ECC hardware as occasional
ECC failures are part of normal operation, but long sequences of ECC
failures usually indicate a memory chip that is about to fail.
Thermal event interrupts occur when a temperature threshold has been
exceeded for some CPU chip. IIRC, a thermal interrupt is also generated
when the temperature drops back to a normal level.
A spurious interrupt is an interrupt that was raised then lowered by the
device before it could be fully processed by the APIC. Hence the apic sees
the interrupt but does not know what device it came from. For this case
the APIC hardware will assume a vector of 0xff.
Rescheduling, call, and TLB flush interrupts are sent from one CPU to
another per the needs of the OS. Typically, their statistics would be used
to discover if an interrupt flood of the given type has been occuring.
AK: merged v2 and v4 which had some more tweaks
AK: replace Local interrupts with Local timer interrupts
AK: Fixed description of interrupt types.

The return type of __scanbit() doesn't match the return type of
find_{first,next}_bit(). Thus when you construct something like
this:
boolean ? __scanbit() : find_first_bit()
you get an unsigned long result if "boolean" is true, and a signed
long result if "boolean" is false.

This patch removes the __STR() and STR() macros from x86_64 header files.
They seem to be legacy, and has no more users. Even if there were users,
they should use __stringify() instead.
In fact, there were one third place in which this macro was defined
(ia32_binfmt.c), and used just below. In this file, usage was properly
converted to __stringify()

Some gcc versions (I checked at least 4.1.1 from RHEL5 & 4.1.2 from gentoo)
can generate incorrect code with read_crX()/write_crX() functions mix up,
due to cached results of read_crX().
The small app for x8664 below compiled with -O2 demonstrates this
(i686 does the same thing):

Fix get_apic_id() in mach-default, so that it uses 8 bits incase of

This fixes the i386 kernel assumption that apic id is less than 16 for
xAPIC platforms with 8 cpus or less and makes the kernel boot on such
platforms.

Implement file posix capabilities. This allows programs to be given a
subset of root's powers regardless of who runs them, without having to use
setuid and giving the binary all of root's powers.
This version works with Kaigai Kohei's userspace tools, found at
http://www.kaigai.gr.jp/index.php. For more information on how to use this
patch, Chris Friedhoff has posted a nice page at
http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Changelog:
Nov 27:
Incorporate fixes from Andrew Morton
(security-introduce-file-caps-tweaks and
security-introduce-file-caps-warning-fix)
Fix Kconfig dependency.
Fix change signaling behavior when file caps are not compiled in.
Nov 13:
Integrate comments from Alexey: Remove CONFIG_ ifdef from
capability.h, and use %zd for printing a size_t.
Nov 13:
Fix endianness warnings by sparse as suggested by Alexey
Dobriyan.
Nov 09:
Address warnings of unused variables at cap_bprm_set_security
when file capabilities are disabled, and simultaneously clean
up the code a little, by pulling the new code into a helper
function.
Nov 08:
For pointers to required userspace tools and how to use
them, see http://www.friedhoff.org/fscaps.html.
Nov 07:
Fix the calculation of the highest bit checked in
check_cap_sanity().
Nov 07:
Allow file caps to be enabled without CONFIG_SECURITY, since
capabilities are the default.
Hook cap_task_setscheduler when !CONFIG_SECURITY.
Move capable(TASK_KILL) to end of cap_task_kill to reduce
audit messages.
Nov 05:
Add secondary calls in selinux/hooks.c to task_setioprio and
task_setscheduler so that selinux and capabilities with file
cap support can be stacked.
Sep 05:
As Seth Arnold points out, uid checks are out of place
for capability code.
Sep 01:
Define task_setscheduler, task_setioprio, cap_task_kill, and
task_setnice to make sure a user cannot affect a process in which
they called a program with some fscaps.
One remaining question is the note under task_setscheduler: are we
ok with CAP_SYS_NICE being sufficient to confine a process to a
cpuset?
It is a semantic change, as without fsccaps, attach_task doesn't
allow CAP_SYS_NICE to override the uid equivalence check. But since
it uses security_task_setscheduler, which elsewhere is used where
CAP_SYS_NICE can be used to override the uid equivalence check,
fixing it might be tough.
task_setscheduler
note: this also controls cpuset:attach_task. Are we ok with
CAP_SYS_NICE being used to confine to a cpuset?
task_setioprio
task_setnice
sys_setpriority uses this (through set_one_prio) for another
process. Need same checks as setrlimit
Aug 21:
Updated secureexec implementation to reflect the fact that
euid and uid might be the same and nonzero, but the process
might still have elevated caps.
Aug 15:
Handle endianness of xattrs.
Enforce capability version match between kernel and disk.
Enforce that no bits beyond the known max capability are
set, else return -EPERM.
With this extra processing, it may be worth reconsidering
doing all the work at bprm_set_security rather than
d_instantiate.
Aug 10:
Always call getxattr at bprm_set_security, rather than
caching it at d_instantiate.

Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
overall security architecture.
Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
abuse.
Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
at boot.
The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.
In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface
is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree
modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

Why do we need r/o bind mounts?
This feature allows a read-only view into a read-write filesystem. In the
process of doing that, it also provides infrastructure for keeping track of
the number of writers to any given mount.
This has a number of uses. It allows chroots to have parts of filesystems
writable. It will be useful for containers in the future because users may
have root inside a container, but should not be allowed to write to
somefilesystems. This also replaces patches that vserver has had out of the
tree for several years.
It allows security enhancement by making sure that parts of your filesystem
read-only (such as when you don't trust your FTP server), when you don't want
to have entire new filesystems mounted, or when you want atime selectively
updated. I've been using the following script to test that the feature is
working as desired. It takes a directory and makes a regular bind and a r/o
bind mount of it. It then performs some normal filesystem operations on the
three directories, including ones that are expected to fail, like creating a
file on the r/o mount.
This patch:
Some filesystems forego the vfs and may_open() and create their own 'struct
file's.
This patch creates a couple of helper functions which can be used by these
filesystems, and will provide a unified place which the r/o bind mount code
may patch.
Also, rename an existing, static-scope init_file() to a less generic name.

I_LOCK was used for several unrelated purposes, which caused deadlock
situations in certain filesystems as a side effect. One of the purposes
now uses the new I_SYNC bit.
Also document the various bits and change their order from historical to
logical.

After making dirty a 100M file, the normal behavior is to start the writeback
for all data after 30s delays. But sometimes the following happens instead:
- after 30s: ~4M
- after 5s: ~4M
- after 5s: all remaining 92M
Some analyze shows that the internal io dispatch queues goes like this:
s_io s_more_io
-------------------------
1) 100M,1K 0
2) 1K 96M
3) 0 96M
1) initial state with a 100M file and a 1K file
2) 4M written, nr_to_write <= 0, so write more
3) 1K written, nr_to_write > 0, no more writes(BUG)
nr_to_write > 0 in (3) fools the upper layer to think that data have all been
written out. The big dirty file is actually still sitting in s_more_io. We
cannot simply splice s_more_io back to s_io as soon as s_io becomes empty, and
let the loop in generic_sync_sb_inodes() continue: this may starve newly
expired inodes in s_dirty. It is also not an option to draw inodes from both
s_more_io and s_dirty, an let the loop go on: this might lead to live locks,
and might also starve other superblocks in sync time(well kupdate may still
starve some superblocks, that's another bug).
We have to return when a full scan of s_io completes. So nr_to_write > 0 does
not necessarily mean that "all data are written". This patch introduces a
flag writeback_control.more_io to indicate this situation. With it the big
dirty file no longer has to wait for the next kupdate invocation 5s later.

Current -mm tree has bucketful of bug fixes in periodic writeback path.
However, we still hit a glitch where dirty pages on a given inode aren't
completely flushed to the disk, and system will accumulate large amount of
dirty pages beyond what dirty_expire_interval is designed for.
The problem is __sync_single_inode() will move an inode to sb->s_dirty list
even when there are more pending dirty pages on that inode. If there is
another inode with a small number of dirty pages, we hit a case where the loop
iteration in wb_kupdate() terminates prematurely because wbc.nr_to_write > 0.
Thus leaving the inode that has large amount of dirty pages behind and it has
to wait for another dirty_writeback_interval before we flush it again. We
effectively only write out MAX_WRITEBACK_PAGES every dirty_writeback_interval.
If the rate of dirtying is sufficiently high, the system will start
accumulate a large number of dirty pages.
So fix it by having another sb->s_more_io list on which to park the inode
while we iterate through sb->s_io and to allow each dirty inode which resides
on that sb to have an equal chance of flushing some amount of dirty pages.

printk: add the KERN_CONT annotation (which is empty string but via
which checkpatch.pl can notice that the lacking KERN_ level is fine).
This useful for multiple calls of hand-crafted printk output done by

One more small change to extend the availability of creation of file
descriptors with FD_CLOEXEC set. Adding a new command to fcntl() requires
no new system call and the overall impact on code size if minimal.
If this patch gets accepted we will also add this change to the next
revision of the POSIX spec.
To test the patch, use the following little program. Adjust the value of
F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC appropriately.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
#include <errno.h>
#include <fcntl.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#ifndef F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC
# define F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC 12
#endif
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
if (argc > 1)
{
if (fcntl (3, F_GETFD) == 0)
{
puts ("descriptor not closed");
exit (1);
}
if (errno != EBADF)
{
puts ("error not EBADF");
exit (1);
}
exit (0);
}
int fd = fcntl (STDOUT_FILENO, F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC, 0);
if (fd == -1 && errno == EINVAL)
{
puts ("F_DUPFD_CLOEXEC not supported");
return 0;
}
if (fd != 3)
{
puts ("program called with descriptors other than 0,1,2");
return 1;
}
execl ("/proc/self/exe", "/proc/self/exe", "1", NULL);
puts ("execl failed");
return 1;
}

CONFIG_EXT3_INDEX is not an exposed config option in the kernel, and it is
unconditionally defined in ext3_fs.h. tune2fs is already able to turn off
dir indexing, so at this point it's just cluttering up the code. Remove
it.

Only very little files use the deprecated SA_* IRQ flags in latest pull. This
patch series removes such macros from the tree and transfrom old code to the
new IRQF_* flags.
I've grepped the whole tree to make sure that no more files than the patched
ones use such deprecated macros. I hope this series won't introduce build
errors.
